That's cute.

GNU/Linux isn't for everyone. If you don't like it, don't use it...

I dropped Linux earlier today because Spotify wouldn't work because of dep hell. The only solution was to use Debian or Arch which although Debian isn't a bad distribution, I like opensuse better. Arch is self explanatory.

>>56690914
Spotify is more convenient than piracy. Just like how buying software is sometimes more convenient than piracy.

You could just bind the last command to a hotkey of your window manager after figuring it out, or put it in a script in /usr/bin or do whatever else you want because there is absolute freedom as long as you know how to do what you want or have enough time.

>>56690951

Piracy is a misnomer.

If you want to support the artists, go listen to them live. Don't contribute to feeding the record industry mafia.

>>56690752
Apparently people like Linux because it gives them something to do. Literally. Windows users have more time to enjoy life.

pretty much. they're mostly NEETs or sysadmins who waste their life away copy/pasting commands out of some Wiki... and it makes them think they're superior to others who just have to click on a checkbox.

So instead of having my money siphoned off by the record industry, I should have it siphoned off by TicketMaster?

How exactly is this better?

More of a share of your money goes towards the artist. When you buy an album or subscription, they get next to absolutely nothing. Taylor Swift rebelling against streaming services for example.

Spotify pays the artists. It's a pittance, but it's something. I won't ever go to live shows because I hate loud noises, so a more convenient way to consume music AND pay the artists a little is better than piracy in my mind.

It's also a botnet and I don't trust anything that puts Amazon botnets into their products. If I wanted botnet then I'd use Windows.

>>56691266

Still doesn't invalidate the point. They are even big artists, they can make shit loads of money, it's just that the record labels are missing out on so much they would rather pull the catalog and offer it elsewhere at higher premium. Supply and demand.

>>56691306
Honestly I don't really care if the artists are supported. If I can use something more convenient than pirating that also makes the artists a little money then I'll happily use it.

This is what you really need to do in Windows btw.

copy con webcamdisable.cmd
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "Devcon disable '{0}{1}' -f '@',(Get-CimInstance Win32_PnPEntity | where caption -match 'integrated camera').pnpDeviceID
ctrl-z
enter
webcamdisable.cmd

Windows doesn't actually have a text editor when you ssh in so you have to use copy.

Really makes you think.

>Linux
>Just werks

everytime

Linux is becoming more and more of a work/nerd who wants to tinker platform exclusively. I think it was genuinely usable for media and every day uses in the past, but has been on a decline in relative usability as the way we use computers has changed.

Being unable to freely swap devices related to the computer is just obnoxious.

I still have 4 linux machines and one Windows machine, but my Windows machine is the one I use for anything that might be considered fun. It is genuinely easier and more productive to use Windows for anything that doesn't require Linux. My job requires Linux, so I use it.

>>56690827

Because it wouldn't recognize Firefox having flash installed even in safemode and it requires flash. Tried chromium but it gave me errors on every page.

Define it however you want. The official Spotify program if specifically for debian and it's derivatives. A simple 4 step install.

>>56691530
Chromium requires pepperflash, which depends on you distro if they'll server it in packaged form.

Gentoo has lovely USE flags to enable pepperflash

I tried using alien to convert the debian package to rpm for suse and it failed because it's dependent on libgcrypt.so.11 which won't install.

Why is device manager still so shitty?

In particular, the way it shows USB devices is idiotic. Open "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and the information is pretty much uselessly vague, with no hierarchy.

I've done some work with the MS SetupAPI, which is what you have to go through to get device information. It's a goddamn trainwreck of an API. Soooo I guess I just answered my own question: Microsoft made an API so goddamned shitty that they never went beyond the most basic, hideous representation of system devices.

Its not that complicated. I forgot now how I done but I think you simply disable the driver. One line in some config file

>>56691725
Actually it's more like pressing the windows key to bring up the start menu and typing in 'dev'. About the same number of steps it'd take to bring up the terminal on linux.

The driver manager in Ubuntu should really included the all the drivers you're using, not just the ones with propriety drivers. It's mostly just the gpu manager and occasional sound card manager.

In the real world where people have family, friends, jobs and hobbies a computer is used for entertainment and work. Windows and OSX are more than good enough to suit 95% of users to get on with their shit which is why they don't have 50 DE's, a few hundred icon themes and thousands of shitty toolkit themes.

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”
